PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that easterlies and northeast monsoon will bring rains over parts of the country.
On Thursday (March 7, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The easterlies and amihan will affect the country’s weather conditions.
Pagasa weather specialist Benison Estareja reported that easterlies and northeast monsoon will bring cloudy skies with isolated rains over parts of the country.
The northeast monsoon will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Batanes.
“Most of the day it will be sunny especially in the western and southern portions of Luzon and at the same time there will be light rains only in the Cordillera Valley and Cagayan Region. It is not expected to rain heavily in the rest of Luzon,” Estareja said.
The easterlies and localized thunderstorms will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Visayas, Palawan, including Kalayaan Islands, and Occidental Mindoro.
Similar weather condition is expected over Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
Up to 34 degrees Celsius air temperature is expected over Metro Manila.
“In terms of our temperature ay magiging mainit pa rin po. Kagaya dito sa Metro Manila — hanggang 34 degrees celsius po pagsapit ng tanghali. Ibang lugar kagaya ng Tuguegarao hanggang 33 degrees, habang sa Legazpi hanggang 32 degrees celsius,” Estareja explained.
The weather agency advised the residents in the affected areas to take precautionary measures for possible flash floods or landslides due to moderate to at times heavy rains and severe thunderstorms.
